T 0 all whom t may concern:

.Be it known thatl I, CARL TETCHTNER, a citizen of the German Republic,and a resident of Leipzig, Grermany, manufacturer, have invented certainnew"andfuseful Improvements in a Permanent Calendar, for which I havefiled applications in Germany 4Oct. 26, 1918; Germany additional J an.27,

1919; Hungary Feb. 17, 1919, and Switzerland Feb, 8, 1919, of which thefollowing is a statement.

The present invention relates to a new permanent calendar, which may beused for any year, and may also, if desirable, be conveniently carriedin the pocket; the calendar may, however, also be made to stand on awriting desk or to be hung on a wall.

In the accompanying drawings wherein like symbols designate like partsthroughout the several views,

Figure 1 is a top plan view of one form of permanent calendarconstructed according to the present invention and shown in openposition;

Fig. 2 is a similar View with the cover closed;

Fig. 3 is a plan View of a slightly modilied form of the calendar inopen position;

Fig. l is a similar view showing the same device closed;

Fig. 5 is a view in front elevation of a further modified form ofcalendar constructed according to the present invention; and

Fig. 6 is an edge view thereof.

On the right-hand inner side of a bookcover-like folder a small bookletsk1, h2, 7b3

are fitted, on the leaves of which the various data are printed. So, forexample, the leaves of booklet k1 show the date 1-31 of each month. Theleaves of booklet 71,2 show the twelve names of the months,y and theleaves of booklet 71,3 the names of the days of the week.

The one half of the said folder a is proi vided with windows b1, 722,Z13 which are so arranged, that when the folder is closed, the date, thelmonth and the respective day may be read, as seen in Fig. 2. Y

Figs. 3-4 illustrate another modification of the invention, showing onlythe date and the month.

I-Iere only the two booklets h1 and 71,2 are employed, of which booklet71,1 is turned over from right to left while booklet 71,2 is turned overfrom up down. The windows in the cover part of the folder are arrangedPERMANENT CALENDAR.

to correspond with the printed pages of the said booklets, so that thedate and the month' may be readv as seen in Fig. 4. The said windows721, 722, 723 may be either left open, or be.y fitted with a transparentsheet of suitable material.

On the pages of the said booklet, which do not bear any of the calendarindications, advertisements or verses and the like may be printed. Theuser o-f the calendar will read these when turning over the leaves ofthe said booklets.

The closed folder is held in such position by aid of suitable clasps orsimilar means.

Figs. 5 and 6 illustrate in elevation and vertical section,respectively, another modification to be used as standing or wallcalendar. In this modification the booklets h1, h2, 7a3 are arranged inform of terraces. Here, however, the turned over leaves are not held bythe one half of a cover, as with the hereinbefore described form, but byflaps 7:1, 762, 7c3 specially provided to fall over the leaves f1, f2,f3 of the booklets h1, 7a2, 7a3, when these have been turned upward, andthereby prevent them from falling down again. The said flaps 701, 702,7c3 extend about downto the middle of the said booklets, so that theyclear the pages thereof, bearing the dates, months and days. On theseila-ps, and on the back of the leaves bearing saidv data advertisements.and the like may be printed. This form of the calendar may also be somade that extensions are provided at top and bottom 0r at the sidesthereof, or only at one of these parts of the foundation g, on whichextensions permanent advertisements may be arranged.

The flaps 761, 702, 7c3 which may be painted or printed withadvertisements, may be made, instead of paper, also of thin wood, sheetmetal or other suitable material.

I claim:

1. A permanent calendar comprising a supporting backing, individualbooklets or pads containing data indicating independently the day andmonth of the year, the

Y leaves of said pads or booklets being printed 2. A permanent calendarcomprising av backing member, a series of pads or book- 'lets arrangedin stepped or terraced relation on said backing and provided with dataindicating the month, day of the Week, and number of the dayrespectively, said pads or booklets having the leaves adapted to beturned over for exposing new data, and a series of flaps also arrangedin terraced relation supported from said backing member and adapted toextend in front of the upper portion of said pads without 0bscuring thedata thereon but adapted to hold the folded up leaves in place, saidflaps being'yieldable outwardly to permit turningof the leaves of thebooklets or pads upwardly.

In testimony whereof: I hereunto affix my signature in the presence oftwo subscribing witnesses.
